GOSIP Conformance and Interoperation Testing and Registration

摘要

The development of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 146 which specifies the Government Open Systems Interconnection Profile (GOSIP) resulted in the need to establish policy and procedures aimed at ensuring that Federally procured data communications products adhere to the technical documents referenced by GOSIP and that they interoperate. The goal of the report is to aid a Federal Acquisition Authority in procurement of GOSIP products by employing publicly accessible registers verifying supplier claims of conformance and documenting instances of interoperability of GOSIP conformant products.
